How to Detox Every Day

I can do this! I bet you can, too.

OK, maybe not everything all at once. But one or two. And then perhaps more.

Here's how.

How Long Have I Got Left?

Oh dear. So hard to read. Even tougher to imagine this darling man's life (and the life of his family) at this moment.

And yet, as we age, all of us face the inevitable. Dealing with the loss of those we love. And dealing with death ourselves.

How do we remain resiliant? Hopeful? Strong?

Oh dear. With a family full of rescued pets, I have to resist the notion of immediately driving to the nearest pound and making a purchase. 

Thank you, thank you, Susan W.

Top Ten Benefits of Consuming Turmeric

Since returning from Morocco, I've been far more interested in spices I hadn't used on a regular basis. The benefits of adding turmeric are substantial. Read the entire article. 

Moroccan Recipe: Chicken Tagine with Apricots, Almonds & Chickpeas

I totally cheated on the photo. The recipe I used has a picture that does nothing to share a sense of just how wonderful the dish is. And the original recipe would be terrific, as pictured below, with fresh spinach. 

Modifications: I forgot to add the garbanzos, almonds and honey/still terrific. Some serve with yogurt/we did not but this is a nice addition. We did use a tagine and the chicken was sooooo, sooooo moist. The tagine (Amazon link) was a gift to us/you don't need to spend this much $$$ to achieve excellent results. Lucky us.

Prosciutto & Gruyère Croissants

For those who also have trouble passing La Baguette at Stanford Shopping Center without making a ham & cheese croissant stop, here's a simple solution to that occasional craving.

Here's the recipe with a time-saving recommendation: Skip making from scratch. Instead, buy ready-made dough and proceed.

This I can do. And so can you.

I'm going shopping as soon as I meet my goal weight. I hope this happens very soon!
